HKS V-Mount just shipped from Japan
I was just notified that my HKS V-Mount that I ordered from Nengun at the beginning of the month has been shipped. Nengun may take a long time, but their prices are awesome and they always deliver. (www.nengun.com)

Prep'd and Ready
Not even a month after buying the new car and it will already be at on the track this weekend and playing double duty none the less (hope this is a sign of things to come). I will be driving it in yellow group and am letting Brandon drive it in green group.
I have spent the past couple of weeks getting the car to where I want it and finally feel it is safe to take this motor on the track...well almost. I replaced the pre-cat and stock airbox to let it breathe and get some heat out of the engine bay. The airpump, double throttle, and other miscellaneous parts were removed/disabled (was able to clean up the rat's nest a bit).
Since, all of that random crap was removed I was forced to go ahead and install my Power FC so it would drive smooth.The car already has a upgraded radiator and AST, so that was already taken car of, but I was able to better my current coolant temps with the FC-Datalogit's fan control. I used to see 100-105 degrees C on the street, but now it is a rock solid 85C, which is now verified with both the PFC and a water temp gauge (I am very paranoid about my coolant temps). The reason I said "well almost" earlier, is because the car needs an upgraded intercooler of some sort. After seeing the air temps on the PFC, I realized this is needed next. I should probably upgrade the oil cooler(s) at the same time.
Current Modifications: (as of 12am last night)
HKS RS Intake
RX7Store 3" Downpipe
Pulley Kit for Airpump Removal
Koyo Radiator
Pettit AST
Apex'i Power FC
Greddy Electronic Boost Gauge
Greddy Water Temp Gauge
Gotham Racing Short Shifter
Hawk HP+ Brake Pads
Russel's Stainless Brake Lines
ATE Super Blue Brake Fluid
